Create Notecards
To start creating your notecards, login to your Easy Notecards account and click on ‘Create cards’. Add a title and description for your card, type in a subject, and use the book search functionality to find your book.
The site includes over 200 million books. The best and easiest way to search for a book is by its ISBN. Next, add grade levels and start populating your cards. You can use text and images. You can also import data from other notecards in the form of Excel or text file.
Once your cards are created you can select from the buttons on the top right corner whether you want to make your cards public or you want to password protect them so that you restrict who can view or edit your notecard sets.
Gaming Features
There are three gamed-based services provided by Easy Notecards that make creating and interacting with cards much more engaging:
2.1 Quiz
The Quiz feature is another useful feature for students. For every notecard set there is the possibility to take a multiple choice quiz to test students knowledge. Here is how it works: rounds one features all questions, round 2 features the missed ones in round 1 and so forth till all questions are answered correctly.
2.2 Matching
Easy Notecards integrates game-based learning through the Matching game feature. This is an “interactive game where you drag the front of each notecard to its corresponding back or vice versa. Scoring is based on how fast you complete the game and the number of cards you miss. The matching game is available for every notecard set.”
2.3 Bingo
Bingo is another excellent element in Easy Notecards to boost engagement and enhance learning through incorporating the principles of game-based learning. Bingo games are designed entirely based on the information contained in the notecards. Students can play Bingo individually or against peers. In the multiplayer mode, students will also have access to chat, Bingo points, and many more.
I would suggest that you first check examples of notecards created by members of the Easy Notecards community for inspiration and familiarization before you start creating your own cards. Best of luck.
